o Appropriate outerwear (hat, jacket etc. as needed)
What not to bring: - snacks, juice boxes and water bottles - toys
On the first day of school, most parents find it easiest to help their child put their things away, perhaps stay a few minutes until their child feels settled, then leave after a quick goodbye. Kids pick up on their parent’s apprehension and distress, so it’s best to be quick and firm when saying goodbye. Know that even children who cry when their parents leave generally calm quickly and are able to move on.
